Introduction The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor best known for regulating sodium/potassium and water in the kidney in response to aldosterone ( Fuller & Young 2005 ). The MR has equivalent high

Introduction The transcription factor pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 (PLAG1) was first discovered via positional cloning when researchers were studying pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary glands ( Kas et al . 1997 ). Its role in various types of
